Sometimes you just need to wrap everything in bacon, fry it, put it on the couch with Netfilx and finish it… Right?! …. RIGHT!
That kind of day was the inspiration for this little appetizer, and by “little appetizer”, I mean… uh, not little at all… haha! There’s nothing small about bacon or cheese, especially when you put them together and uhhh… fry them, but sometimes you have to!
~ And I did.
Each melted mozzarella stick is perfectly balanced with the smoky, crispy bacon that embraces it as if it would never let go. 🙂
~Make a big batch of these babies and get the remote ready: )
What you will need:
1 pound of bacon… 2 slices per mozzarella stick!
approx. 6 mozzarella cheese sticks
oil for frying… I used Canola
toothpicks
Bathing ranch… or any swimsuit you want!
Instructions of how to get it:
The first thing you have to do is FREEZE CHEESE. 🙂 At least for a few hours!
Place a slice of bacon and a frozen cheese stick on it… pulling the ends of the bacon to cover each end of the cheese…
Now wrap another slice of bacon around the cheese stick, using it to secure the first slice of bacon. Use a toothpick to secure the bacon as it is fried!
Fry them in hot oil (350 degrees), until they are crisp and golden, let them cool on a paper towel.
Serve them with some ranch dressing to dip them in! ~Enjoy!! ~ 🙂
